Answer 3

Try taking Flax oil. Flax oil may help you to stop craving, this may be because of an hormone it contains called Leptin. It tells your brain when to eat, how much to eat and most importantly, when to stop eating.

Leptin not only controls hunger, but it is the hormone that tells the body whether it should burn away excess fat. This is one of the most critical messages that your body must hear to maintain normal weight and optimal health.

When leptin levels can be properly "heard", it alerts your brain and other body tissues that you have eaten enough and stored away enough fat, and it’s now time to burn off some excess fat. This feedback system is designed to prevent you from getting fat.

In order for leptin to be heard clearly, however, leptin levels must remain stable and low. When leptin levels spike too high, too often your cells stop listening to leptin. In medical terms, they become "resistant" to leptin’s message. When your brain and other body tissues don’t properly "hear" leptin’s message, your brain continues to believe that you must store away even more fat for a rainy day. It tells you, "Be hungry, eat, and store more fat. " Before too long, you will be fat.

Our bodies thrive on good fat. Our metabolism needs good fat to burn bad fat. Our cells need good fat to work properly. Our brains need good fat to think. Most important, good fat lowers leptin levels, improving the quality of leptin signaling so that our cells hear leptin better, thereby controlling hunger. Remember, eating fat doesn’t make you fat; the inability to burn fat is what makes you fat. Good fat turns you into a wonderful fat burner.

Leptin is the Greek for thin.
